Just in time for the holidays, Mint Rhapsody is officially in the US so you can order your modern acrylic dollhouses, storage pieces and even the Play Pen, and not have to import them from Australia. This is so exciting! These are seriously stunning show pieces for your modern children’s spaces (and your Instagram feed!).

The Attic House comes in Milky (white), Glacier (clear) and Scout (green) for about $300.

This is a nice, playable, gender-neutral house that also looks great as a display shelf with books and other decor items. Neon Attic House colors are listed separately, but are the same price.

The Mini Attic’s are a bit smaller and are minimalist display pieces on their own. These come in Royal (blue), Ghosty (clear), Lunar (black) and Pina (a highlighter yellow). $155

The Noir House is opaque black acrylic with three stories and two staircases. It’s simply stunning. $300

Beyond dollhouses, the invisible Play Pen ($535) is the most unique product in their lineup. You can barely see it even in the photo! And isn’t that the feature you’d wish for in a playpen?

They Mint Rhapsody Storage pieces are also all in stock, including Hex boxes, Tri Boxes and Shelfies, which are clear book ledges. Who’s as excited about this as I am?

It is not too soon to start shopping (or at least saving!) for holiday gifts for your favorite little ones. Year after year, The Land of Nod curates the best holiday gift collection and I’m here to share the most impressive best-bets for the ultimate in gift giving for 2016.

For the littlest ones, one of these new activity gyms or play mats are perfect! Choose the Blooming Baby Activity Gym designed by Elizabeth Olwen($100),

The Land of Nod always has the most exciting and creative play tents and this holiday season is full of new introductions. The Decorate a Teepee and Patch Set add and extra layer of fun to the now ubiquitous teepee. ($200 for the complete set)

Suzy’s Cottage from Suzy Ultman is a charming play home that will look incredible in a little girl’s space. ($180)

With a print designed by Virginia Crofts, the Perennial Playhouse has that look of your grandmother’s bedsheet turned into a tent. Of course the tent is a fancy framed camp tent so you’ve got the best of all worlds. ($200)

Shall I go so far as to say these are destined to become Ikea classics or even collectibles? Maybe I’ll reserve such strong judgement for after I see them in person, but Ikea has definitely hit the mark for the modern kids room with their Flisat collection.

The children’s desk can be adjusted to three different heights and you can add Trofast storage boxes to hold your art supplies. Buy a few of the wall storage ledges to create a simple and beautiful library wall.

I’m ready to move into the new Cubic Dollhouse Set, though I must admit, personally I’d be more interested in a three bedroom place.

Seriously though, this amazing dollhouse is a MoMA exclusive and features a glazed roof, double height living room, and modern furnishings throughout. Furniture is included but the dolls are sold separately (and the patio isn’t currently available).

Just look how happy this little boy looks with his flat panel tv and ipad!

With just enough detail to identify it, the House in a Bag from des Enfantillages is a portable canvas for imaginary play. The house set includes two interlocking pieces of plywood and storage bag ($62). The family and furniture are sold separately ($35) or you can furnish it yourself. I’m thinking empty matchboxes, wooden spool tables…
